All students in grades 2 through 5 visit the library once each 6-day cycle.

Each student may borrow one book per week of their choice. Students are encouraged to vary their book selection between fiction and nonfiction.

Students must return all library books before borrowing new books. If a student does not return his or her book during regular library time, he or she is welcome to come down to the library on day 2 or day 6 before 8:30am and bring it to the circulation desk.
